Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cockermouth

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Cockermouth questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cockermouth?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Cockermouth contact us are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Cockermouth

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockermouth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Cockermouth

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
